Gave 1.11 a try over the weekend. Just disconnects like 1.10.  Back to 1.09 and it works fine. Hooked up my ASUS AC-5300 yesterday again. The ASUS is rock solid. Just don't understand why I bought this D-link.....(It was because of the nice parent control feature)....I still can't use the feature I bought it for.....

Please refrain from using vulgarity in the forums. I understand your frustrations however it doesn't help anything and only makes things worse.

Please give more details of how the 890L is configured when you have v1.11 loaded. is SC enabled? Test the router with SC disabled?
What devices are experiencing this supposed disconnects?
What are you doing when this disconnects are happening?
How many devices do you have connected at one time to the router?
Did you load the v1.11 FW manually as the process is seen here and not load any saved configuration files afterwards? Link> >FW Update Process

Aside the other users Roku 4 issue, v1.11 seems stable and works well for me. I don't have a roku 4 so I can't explain that fully. There maybe a wifi or SC driver compatibility issue there.

We need to know more information to see if we can help you more to figure out whats going on. If you feel the router is at fault then phone contact D-Link support and by all means, get an RMA unit in place while your under warranty for crist sake and see if a new unit resolves this or not.

Since your from the Sweden (EU) region, you should be loading what is the latest from this location:
http://www.dlink.com/se/sv/support/product/dir-890l-ac3200-ultra-wifi-router
There maybe differences between the EU and NA regions which maybe causing problems. I recommend that you load what is available here. If you still seem to experience problems with the 890L, I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.


I tried a 5300 last month...I sent it back is all I can say. 

[hjohan13]

Sorry for beeing upset...just the feeling when you have spent a lot of money on something that really doesn't meet the expectations.

- During update I always do a factory reset to make sure nothing old  is disturbing. And always hardwired
- I never backup any  saved configurations...always from scratch
- SC is always disable. I understand the meaning of it, bur never got it to work in real life, Not even on the AC-5300.
- I (we in our family) have approx. 30 devices connected. Phones, pads, laptops, computers, ) (2 adults and 3 children)  15 on wifi and 15 on wire
- Downloaded file from: ftp://ftp.dlink.eu/Products/dir/dir-890l/driver_software/

The wired devices seems to be OK, but the wifi devices just cuts out several times / week...just like that.....normal surfing. Anything from reading the local newspaper to doing schoolwork.

Sorry about your 5300. Guess you never tried: http://www.mediafire.com/asuswrt-merlin/

I understand the frustrations, my experiences with D-Link routers and other Mfr is not perfect. I know where your coming from. 

I'd like you to try SC enabled next time if you get a chance. I have it enabled on mine and it's been working find for me

I have about 20-25 devices, however maybe 10 are wired and using Reserved IP addresses, and the others like printers, controllers, cameras, and NAS are using static IP addressing. My other iPhones, iPad, Mac Book Pro, 933L camera and iMac are wireless with reserved IPs. I have 2 XB1s connected as well however wired. This is something you may want to try on your router as well. For devices that don't need much router management, set a static IP address ON the device. Used reserved for devices that need management controls or scheduling.


What other wifi signals are around you? How many? Can you post a capture of whats around you?
What are the wireless devices all doing when the disconnects happen? Steaming, surfing?


*Both OEM and Merlin FW were tested. 6 Minute reboot time was horrid. Also QoS engine was broke at the time I tested as well. I may try another over the holidays. We'll see.

[hjohan13]

I'll give 1.11 a final try since you seems like a caring guy....I'll post back in a few days....

Found a newer file with same version ...Uploaded the newer file...time will tell....

Just trying to help figure this all out and narrow down where the problem maybe and if at all possible, help get it working right so you can enjoy the router is all.

I recommend starting with just a few wireless device this time. Then graduate adding more. Do some reservations on devices that need router management, static ON devices that don't.

What is the ISP modem Mfr and model?

Keep us posted.

[hjohan13]

Connected to ISP: Telia on fiber 250/100Mbit. Modem just as a splitter to make TV and home-phone working. Internet does really not need a modem at all.
Could just in theory connect Router directly to fiber outlet.

[FurryNutz]

Does this Fiber unit have multiple LAN ports or just one?

[hjohan13]

Just 1 port....My 890 worked well last night and this morning....looks promising...However, Only 1 thing that  I can't get working...I can not connect it to my phone-app  Mydlink+ (Worked before with 1.09)
I can see my router on my app...but not select it.  Loggied in via PC at work tells me that the router is not connected to internet....
What am I missing...

[FurryNutz]

you on v1.09 or v1.11?

What mobile phone are you using?
What OS is currently loaded on it?

[hjohan13]

I'm on 1.11b1 (EU)

Samsung S6 with latest 6.01. But actually the phone is not a problem since  when I log on to https://se.mydlink.com/ it tells me that my router is offline...

Gotta be some setup in the router that i'm missing...anybody help...

[FurryNutz]

Does your modem have a built in router by chance?

Did you set a Admin log in PW then re-associate the router with the MDL service?
